Video Production

Philly Community Access Media

As of January 2015, I am still a relative newcomer to video
camera and production work, a member of PhillyCAM
(a local public access network cablecasting on Comcast
66/966 and Verizon 29/30), where I began training in the fall of 2011
but have since participated only sporadically.

PhillyCAM.

Help Wanted

I am still interested in finding a few like-minded people to join me in
producing a variety of short video segments and planning for
regularly scheduled shows and/or documentaries in the
future. Read more about my request for help,

Video Learning

Video Recording

In October 2012 I recorded my first session with a local
singer/songwriter, Z (name withheld pending approval).
Unfortunately I did not have any of my available microphones
set up properly for this session, never learned enough
about editing even to create a brief pilot program, and have
never shared any of it publicly.

Video Production Plans

As of January 2015, my plans have been on hold until I get
my life in order and find time and energy again for video production.
In October 2012 I began planning a project whose working
title is Philly Soapbox, aiming to produce a variety
of short video segments relating to my musical and community
interests. I had hoped to begin work in 2013 on a project whose
working title is Call Me Old-Fashioned, aiming to
produce regularly scheduled shows, also relating to my
musical and community interests. I was also considering,
and may again consider,
collaborating with a fellow PhillyCAM member on a
music-related documentary. For more about my show ideas in general,
see my Video Production
Plans.

Focus and Potential Topics

My Commitment or Lack Thereof

Big plans, huh? Do I really have the time and energy to
do all this? I am seeking first to spend more of my time gainfully
employed, and am definitely not ready to commit full-time to
video projects. But I do hope to work out a schedule that
allows me to pursue these plans. Read more
about my commitment or lack thereof,
and my Timetable.
